Darkoh explains the role of social enterprise in helping improve the continent’s healthcare sector. Such enterprises tend to bridge the gap between the private sector and non-profits. 

As a member of the World Economic Forum (WEF)’s Schwab Foundation, he has been participating in the annual conference in Davos, Switzerland, for a number of years. Darkoh explains the benefit of the WEF as a platform for raising and finding solutions to socioeconomic issues. 

Topics of discussion include: BroadReach’s operating model; the place of social enterprise in helping to improve healthcare; reflections from the recently held World Economic Forum; and how African countries can use technology to strengthen their economies.
